Dressing Up

Sadie got a little dress-up chest, with shoes and princessey dresses in it, from her Grandma and Grandpa Smith for Christmas. She hadn't shown much interest in it, except for the necklace:

But Dylan had fun putting on the princess shoes. Here he is, wearing his favorite pair, Sleeping Beauty's shoes. I love the look on his face. He's a natural born model:

This encouraged Sadie to try on a pair. She's wearing her Jasmine shoes in this shot:

Nat and Pete came over the day after Christmas, and Pete thought it would be hilarious to make his boys dress up in these princess outfits. He forced Troy to try on a skirt, which was too long, so he made it a sleeveless dress. Troy was not happy about it:

Pete could not get Jake to try a dress on. Jake got a Power Rangers costume for Christmas, and he's worn it basically every single day, all day, since he got it, and he was not about to change into girl's clothes. Pete asked Brock to try on a dress, and Brock was all for it. He wore this purple dress the whole time he was here! It's fitting, because Nat and Pete are always calling Brock a Princess. He loves to be served and coddled. But he is so dang cute and good-natured, so none of us mind it:

Dylan decided to put on a dress at this point, complete with his Sleeping Beauty shoes and a cowboy hat:

Sadie, after seeing most of her cousins dressed up, was finally persuaded to dress up. She hasn't worn any of the dresses since this day - as I type this, she is putting Hot Wheels in a tupperware bowl and taking them out again. I guess she's not much of a girly-girl:

Jake put down his Power Rangers costume for a moment, and Nat tried it on, since we were all in the trying-on mood:

And here is Troy, relieved to be out of his skirt:
